I and my comrades start walking in the bustling marketplace.

But what's more, are noticeable is that the people around here have blurred faces.

"Scary." Louisa holds on tight to Evelyn.

"Don't worry little child, they won't cause you harm. But stick close to us okay?"

Louisa nods her head to Evelyn's words as she grabs her hands much tighter. The poor little girl was really scared since she remembered a certain kind of scary movie when seeing the blurred faces of the people around.

"What are we supposed to do here?" Celene asked.

"We need to go to go to the castle premises first," I said.

"Is this supposed to be a ruined kingdom? It looks so vibrant and lively to me though a little creepy." Celene said.

"Yes, this is the place. It will be the ruined kingdom two days from now on." Evelyn said.

"Huh?"

"You will see. Ah, wait it will be tomorrow if the plan commences tonight" Evelyn added.

"But if that fails we need to wait for another two days? If we wait that long the quest will be over and we will be a trap here." Jess asked confused and worried.

"Don't worry. The time here is much slower than the time outside so we will be fine." I said. I then pulled Celene who is going to some stores that selling candies.

"Hey! I want to buy that!" Celene retorted.

"If you consume anything here. You will never be able to go back outside and become one of the NPC's here."

"Really?!" Celene immediately holds Jess' arms.

"I thought this place is creepy to you? Why are you even want to buy something here."

"Well. Um...Hehehe" Celene scratch her head.

"All these people here. They are all real people that now become an NPC here because most of them consume things here." Rey added.

'They're real people! That's scary!" Celene this time said in a much-shocked voice.

Compare to the other two events, the <kingdom of ruins> is the most dangerous one. Due to many restrictions, if you are not careful and someone ignorant enters here you will certainly get trap here.

That's why this is what I choose. Though it is very dangerous indeed there is a particular item that I want to get here no matter what.

That item will certainly help me in future quests.

I wonder if that guy is okay? This is just his sixth transmigration. And his third time here on earth.

From what I remember he never tried to enter the <white room> until his third time on earth. So he should be entering it now.

But I do wonder who are those people with him. From <Dead Fairytale> it is said that he is with just some two hoodlum guys. But those two don't look hoodlums at all! More like they are small prey who got caught by him only waiting to be slaughtered.

It's strange. Something is not right here since the beginning. But I'm not sure what is it yet.

"Ding!"

[You have stepped into the castle's bridge.]
